Travis Kling (@travis_kling) of Ikigai Asset Management joins Erik on this episode. Takeaways:- Bitcoin's value proposition is the most challenged in the five years that Travis has been paying attention to it. It has underperformed in the market downturn and turned out not to be as much of an inflation hedge as people thought.- Bitcoin loves quantitative easing and hates quantitative tightening.- Travis figures that we are headed into a recession.- The single biggest driver for crypto will be the Fed.- Bitcoin is the only crypto that isn't a venture bet.- There are a large number of risks heading into the Ethereum merge in Travis's opinion. At the same time there are more institutional investors willing to buy than at any time prior.- Travis and team are captivated by play-to-earn and X-to-earn and think that it will reimagine human coordination over the next decade.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

Last October, Ikigai Asset Management’s Travis Kling predicted that Central Banks would have to “juice QE to infinity” in order to save markets from recession. Yesterday on 60 Minutes, Fed President Neel Kashkari said “there is an infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve. We will do whatever we need to do to make sure there is enough cash in the financial system.” This was followed this morning by an announcement that the Fed was giving itself effectively unlimited capacity to intervene in markets. Markets were...still not impressed. In less than two hours, an initial gain had entirely retraced. On this episode of The Breakdown, @NLW looks at:Specifics details of the Fed AnnouncementWhy FinTwit and Bitcoin Twitter are focusing on inflation Why some think that this action amounts to a nationalization of marketsHow the ‘money printer go brrr’ meme is taking hold

The conversation about whether bitcoin is a safe haven asset continues in the wake of Iranian missile strikes, which saw the price of BTC both surge and retrace in parallel with crude and gold. To help explain what’s going on, we feature comments from Ikigai Asset Management’s Travis Kling. Also in today’s episode, we look at newly published priorities from the SEC around crypto including investor suitability, trading practices, and compliance program effectiveness. We also discuss former Bakkt CEO and now Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler’s appointment to the committee that oversees the CFTC. Is it a conflict of interest, something good for the crypto industry, or both?

As founder and CIO of Ikigai Asset Management, Travis Kling has exploded onto the bitcoin scene over the past year. Spending ten years in traditional finance before moving to crypto, Kling has become a mainstay for his clear-headed analysis of larger market trends - which he has called “the longest monetary policy experiment in history.” In this episode of Bitcoin Macro, he discusses: Why bitcoin is a fledgling macro asset that has significantly increased its footprint on the global stage Why bitcoin is currently a risk asset, but why people think it’s showing signs of a future safe haven asset Why how bitcoin reacts in a recession might be based on what type of recession it is Why he believe Fed Repo market intervention has impacted the recent Bitcoin price down tick. Why every time the bitcoin price crashes and recovers, it brings more recalcitrant institutions into the fold Why the most interesting charts of the year to him are those comparing bitcoin to other safe haven assets To hear more from these speakers and many others about where bitcoin meets macro, join us at Invest: NYC on November 12, 2019 in New York City. https://www.coindesk.com/events/invest-2019/register
